Recipes of Love

A Parody of: Seasons of Love in RENT

Dedicated to Quincy House and the life of an Elf
Written in 2022

One hundred eighty one thousand four hundred minutes 
One hundred eighty one thousand moments so dear 
Orientation, Open Houses, Kettles, and Meetings 
How do you capture the life of an elf? 

In cupcakes, 
In crack dips, 
In chocolates, 
In berry crumbles, 
In butter, in eggs, in cans of biscuits  
Industrial dishwasher and so many ovens 
How did we manage all the mischief? 

Recipes of love 
from all of the elves  
It’s labor of love 
in each tray and cup 
Semester of love 
In treats we trust 

Baked French toast, granola cups, cookies, and mochi  
Does it call for a crème brûlée or a Mexican flan? 
Long live the puppy chow and all thirteen challahs  
How can I stop myself from inhaling puff puffs?

A community we built 
That game night - what a time  
A kitchen reorged  
Rooftop hangout at night 

Its time now to say farewell  
But this is not the end 
Let’s celebrate remember last fall in the life of Quincy House! 
I’ll remember your love 
I’ll remember our laughs
Here’s to all of us  
Celebrate last fall 
Semester of love
